Abstract

Processing conditions such as temperature, soak time, and heating rate affect the final density of conventionally-sintered and microwave-sintered ceramics. Of additional importance is the question of whether microwave-sintered ceramics display intrinsically superior macroscopic engineering properties compared with conventionally-sintered control specimens. An analysis using the Yates algorithm indicates that the processing condition which has the largest impact on the density of the specimen is the heating method (microwave vs. conventional). The microwave-sintered specimens resulted in higher densities and higher fracture strengths. However, it was determined that the higher fracture strengths were due to the higher sintered densities rather than a significantly different microstructure.
